A few users have mentioned that the handle will flex if you pull focus fast.

This is indeed intentionally, as we believe it is a great help to prevent camera shake – particularly when you approach an end stop. However you can always choose to grab it further away from the end in order to reduce the flex. You can even grab the Ruler as a steering wheel if you have a solid stable tripod or if you e.g. are using a shoulder rig.

But if you operate the handle gently from the end – you can pull the smoothest focus from almost any flimsy tripod…

Fits nicely on a Voigtlaender 40mm/f2.0 on a Canon 600D.
The FocusMaker just feels like a quality swiss safe lock on those well built manual lenses…
Also older Nikkor AI Manual lenses have a great feel – they do not come as nice anymore…

“After receiving the focusMaker, I was impressed with it’s simplistic design. And for me every inch of space in my camera bag essential due to the world travel I have to do with a lot of equipment, so this addition to my kit took up no extra space, it lies perfectly flat! It takes about a minute to rig it up, and does a great job of setting the focus points in a matter of seconds. I have used a few rigs, and this is by far the easiest to carry and rig quickly when time is against you. I look forward to using it on more shoots in 2013

Thanks Jeff!

Nice setup – would be awesome to see the FocusMaker in play along with that 240fps feature on the FS700…

A few of our customers have experienced problems
reading the instruction slides in some outdated browsers.
As a help we have compiled this little one pager manual.

If you like, you can even print it out (without margins) and fold it up. Manual Focus Guide
But honestly, save your ink – we dont think that you will ever need it after trying the FocusMaker just once.
